IQHA TRAIL RIDE GAINS NATIONAL RECOGNITION AS IT RAISES MONEY FOR HARMONY RANCH THERAPEUTIC RIDING

The Iowa Quarter Horse Association recently presented a check of $500 to Harmony Ranch Therapeutic Riding. Pictured, left to right, are: Tom Tokheim of Joice, Iowa; Linda Rodemeyer of Rockwell, Iowa; Meg Hughes of Kanawha, Iowa (Harmony Ranch Therapeutic Riding staff); and Lori Mennenga of Meservey, Iowa, RIDE coordinator for the IQHA.

The Iowa Quarter Horse Association donated $500 to the Harmony Ranch Therapeutic Riding. This money was raised through benefit trail rides, which were presented by IQHA as an affiliate of AQHA’s Ride Program. 

AQHA’s RIDE program is an international series of trail rides that celebrate the joys of horseback riding while supporting many aspects of the equine industry as well as other charitable organizations. Last year’s rides were at Brushy Creek State Recreation Area near Fort Dodge, Iowa, and at Volga River State Park near Fayette, Iowa.

This year’s ride is scheduled for August 20 at Garst Farms Resort near Coon Rapids, Iowa.

Harmony Ranch Therapeutic Riding is a non-profit organization based in Clear Lake, Iowa. Their mission is to use animals and the beauty of nature to facilitate Christian ministry by providing therapeutic, educational and recreational opportunities. Doctors, therapist, riding instructors, and families have become aware of the positive physical and mental benefits of horseback riding for individuals physically and/or mentally challenged.

For more information on Harmony Ranch Therapeutic Riding, contact Linda Rodemeyer at (641) 822-4681 or Meg Hughes at (641) 860-1605. For more information on the IQHA benefit trail rides, call Lori Mennenga at (641) 358-6166.
